Hi;

I know this might not be the right place to ask this, but I am at a loss 
to find a more appropriate place.

I am on win2k at work where I am using the "ported gnu utilities" to do 
some copying of files.

cp keeps sending me error messages that it can't copy the file ( even 
with -f ) because the files are the same.

They aren't.  Content, size, and datestamps changed.  Only the name 
remains the same.

Anyone have any idea what this could be about and how I might get around it?

Thanks in advance

Steve
